Community Tasting Note

  June 29, 2021 - Northern Rhone Night (Song Ling Building): This was absolutely lovely. The nose was almost like a stemmy Burgundy - think Leroy or Dujac - with drifts of Chinese herbs and wood spice wafting about sweet notes of black cherries and dark berries, earth and a fragrance of floral rose water. Beautiful. The palate was where it really shone though. Beautifully measured and balanced, perhaps more advanced than I thought a 2014 should be, but oh so soft and integrated, with velvety tannins and wonderfully judged acidity draped over beautifully pure, fleshy flavours of blackberries, sweet cherries and plums, all tumbling across mouth in a deliciously juicy mouthful. Lovely finish too - with blushes of spice and herbs and more roses unfolding beautifully on the back palate. An absolutely lovely wine, drinking very well even now.
